ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations

Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.

For instance in the following function:

void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
	memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
	waiter->magic = waiter;
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}

compiled as:

800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
800554d0:       e92d4008        push    {r3, lr}
800554d4:       e1a00001        mov     r0, r1
800554d8:       e3a02010        mov     r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc:       e3a01011        mov     r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0:       eb04426e        bl      80165ea0 <memset>
800554e4:       e1a03000        mov     r3, r0
800554e8:       e583000c        str     r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec:       e5830000        str     r0, [r3]
800554f0:       e5830004        str     r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4:       e8bd8008        pop     {r3, pc}

GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.

This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:

Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).

Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:

save r8:
-       str     lr, [sp, #-4]!
+       stmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {pc}               @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc}           @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
-       ldr     lr, [sp], #4
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:

save r8:
-       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
        bgt     3b
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
-       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix

Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
with the memset return value.  However the memset itself became broken
by that patch for misaligned pointers.

This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.

Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.

While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
issue pipelines.

makefile: kernel faults with -fschedule-insns2 in GCC 4.8.2
ARM: decompressor: Enable unaligned memory access for v6 and above

Modern GCC can generate code which makes use of the CPU's native
unaligned memory access capabilities.  This is useful for the C
decompressor implementations used for unpacking compressed kernels.

This patch disables alignment faults and enables the v6 unaligned
access model on CPUs which support these features (i.e., v6 and
later), allowing full unaligned access support for C code in the
decompressor.

The decompressor C code must not be built to assume that unaligned
access works if support for v5 or older platforms is included in
the kernel.

For correct code generation, C decompressor code must always use
the get_unaligned and put_unaligned accessors when dealing with
unaligned pointers, regardless of this patch.

- Move this function to ahead of its use to avoid the predeclaration.

v3->v2:
- Tweak code comments of random_stack_user().
- Remove redundant bits mask and shift upon the random variable.

v2->v1:
- Fix random copy to check up buffer length that are not 4-byte multiples.

Entropy is quickly depleted under normal operations like ls(1), cat(1),
etc...  between 2.6.30 to current mainline, for instance:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3428
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2911
$cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2620

We observed this problem has been occurring since 2.6.30 with
fs/binfmt_elf.c: create_elf_tables()->get_random_bytes(), introduced by
f06295b44c296c8f ("ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for glibc PRNG seeding").

/*
 * Generate 16 random bytes for userspace PRNG seeding.
 */
get_random_bytes(k_rand_bytes, sizeof(k_rand_bytes));

The patch introduces a wrapper around get_random_int() which has lower
overhead than calling get_random_bytes() directly.

With this patch applied:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2731
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2802
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

lib: introduce some memory copy macros and functions

the kernel's memcpy and memmove is very inefficient. But the glibc version is
quite fast, in some cases it is 10 times faster than the kernel version. So I
introduce some memory copy macros and functions of the glibc to improve the
kernel version's performance.

The strategy of the memory functions is:
1. Copy bytes until the destination pointer is aligned.
2. Copy words in unrolled loops.  If the source and destination are not aligned
   in the same way, use word memory operations, but shift and merge two read
   words before writing.
3. Copy the few remaining bytes.

    rwsem: do not block readers at head of queue if other readers are active

    This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
    needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
    active readers and no queued waiters.

    In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
    active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
    complete.

    Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

    rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath

    When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
    locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers.  But in
    order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
    readers at the head of the queue.  This might take a while if there are
    many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
    lock while we're counting.  To that end, we grant the first reader lock
    before counting how many more readers are queued.

    We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.

    RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
    RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
    nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock.  This doesn't make
    sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
    RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.

    Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
    active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
    readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
    available.  We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
    release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
    wake up additional readers.  So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
    value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
    hold any read lock.

    rwsem: simplify __rwsem_do_wake

    This is mostly for cleanup value:

    - We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
      waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
      similar code).

    - In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
      so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
      to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

    rwsem: more agressive lock stealing in rwsem_down_write_failed

    Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
    lock stealing:

    - When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
      (and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
      the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
      to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.

    - In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
      is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
      protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
      they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
      (rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
      of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
      rwsem-spinlock.

    rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failed

    When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
    to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
    wait_list when they succeed.

    As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():

    - We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
      remove writers from the wait_list

    - There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
      as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
      that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.

    - We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
      is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
      like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
      exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
      still running - wait_lock protects against that.

    rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability

    Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex
    to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which
    caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%.

    Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis:

        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84

    and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized,
    FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested
    implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer
    task in the waitqueue.

    Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems,
    which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming
    the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the
    FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems.

    In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first
    waiter is also writer. With that change in place the
    aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my
    Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

    rwsem-spinlock: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability

    We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression
    introduced by commit:

      5a505085f043 mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem

    which converted all anon_vma::mutex locks rwsem write locks.

    The semantics are the same, but the behavioral difference is
    quite huge in some cases. After investigating it we found the
    root cause: mutexes support lock stealing while rwsems don't.

    Here is the link for the detailed regression report:

      https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84

    Ingo suggested adding write lock stealing to rwsems:

        "I think we should allow lock-steal between rwsem writers - that
         will not hurt fairness as most rwsem fairness concerns relate to
         reader vs. writer fairness"

    And here is the rwsem-spinlock version.

    With this patch, we got a double performance increase in one
    test box with following aim7 workfile:

        FILESIZE: 1M
        POOLSIZE: 10M
        10 fork_test

     /usr/bin/time output w/o patch                       /usr/bin/time_output with patch
     -- Percent of CPU this job got: 369%                 Percent of CPU this job got: 537%
     Voluntary context switches: 640595016                Voluntary context switches: 157915561

    We got a 45% increase in CPU usage and saved about 3/4 voluntary context switches.

    1c8ed640d918290ddc1de5ada02ef6686a733c9f rwsem: Move duplicate struct rwsem declaration to linux/rwsem.h
    12249b34414dba7f386aadcf6be7ca36c6878300 rwsem: Move duplicate init macros and functions to linux/rwsem.h
    41e5887fa39ab272d9266a09cbefdef270e28b93 rwsem: Unify the duplicate rwsem_is_locked() inlines
    aac72277fda6ef788bb8d5deaa502ce9b9b6e472 rwsem: Move duplicate function prototypes to linux/rwsem.h
Logging: Collective shut the fuck up

Enabling CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG causes the kernel size to bloat up 200kB, and it actually crashes after the PIN screen (???). So disable crap at their sources.
gpu: pvr: Suppress DVFS log messages
sched: LOAD_FREQ (4*HZ+122) avoids loadavg Moire

From http://ripke.com/loadavg/moire but corrected for 200HZ.
block: Adding ROW scheduling algorithm

This patch adds the implementation of a new scheduling algorithm - ROW.
The policy of this algorithm is to prioritize READ requests over WRITE
as much as possible without starving the WRITE requests.

block: ROW: Correct minimum values of ROW tunable parameters

The ROW scheduling algorithm exposes several tunable parameters.
This patch updates the minimum allowed values for those parameters.

block: ROW: Fix forced dispatch

This patch fixes forced dispatch in the ROW scheduling algorithm.
When the dispatch function is called with the forced flag on, we
can't delay the dispatch of the requests that are in scheduler queues.
Thus, when dispatch is called with forced turned on, we need to cancel
idling, or not to idle at all.

block: Add support for reinsert a dispatched req

Add support for reinserting a dispatched request back to the
scheduler's internal data structures.
This capability is used by the device driver when it chooses to
interrupt the current request transmission and execute another (more
urgent) pending request. For example: interrupting long write in order
to handle pending read. The device driver re-inserts the
remaining write request back to the scheduler, to be rescheduled
for transmission later on.

Add API for verifying whether the current scheduler
supports reinserting requests mechanism. If reinsert mechanism isn't
supported by the scheduler, this code path will never be activated.

block: Add API for urgent request handling

This patch add support in block & elevator layers for handling
urgent requests. The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken
by the scheduler. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying
block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to
interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new
urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write
collision scenarios.

Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request
mechanism, this code path is never activated.
